Melaleuca Peak Performance Women Vitality Multivitamin & Mineral
Brand: Melaleuca · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this multivitamin contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the overall formula lacks sufficient clinical data for us to make a strong recommendation for vitality or women's health specifically. Our assessment is that while the calcium component is well-documented, the product as a whole has limited evidence to support unique benefits [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium in this multivitamin supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your skeleton, and it aids neuromuscular relaxation by supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. You need calcium for your heart, muscles, and nerves to function properly.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects from excessive calcium include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, abnormal heart rhythms, and frequent urination [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available on specific dosing for this product. We recommend you get calcium from food sources first, and consult your doctor before adding this supplement, especially if you take any medications. Rely on a balanced diet for your daily vitamins and minerals [NIH ODS].
